is getting hard to please everyone with a theme like this some people likes the new start menu, other not, some likes the new start button, some not, we can make separate versions but then we are going to have a big problem...

btw Ryu7x, thats looks exellent, if you make skins for the other colors will be great

saint what are the icons in ur screenie above?

in the start menu or in the taskbar?

yep and start menu

the start menu is the gnome shell by rivak, the taskbar icons are the EUSMIS set by... ME

where can i get gnome shell?

ask Rivak

Ryu, where can i find the orignal wallpaper you're using in that screenshot?

http://knite.net/~rivak/Gnome_Shell.zip

I like the first one better

Me too .. wait you mean the first start menu I made or the first one in that pic I just posted.

the first in your last post

I was thinkg giga, we reached the point when we cant pleas everyone, so I was thinking about that faq, it needs to include an explanation of how to modify resources in stylebuilder, then we need to add my start button option and some other start menu options in the package in bmp format and release the final version of classix

ah, now this is my taste

Pick on it if you want, but my sappy idea.

that's a low quality jpg by the way, and also my idea for 'real logoff and shutdown buttons' refers to actual little icons that mean something.

ie: you don't just have little squares for glyphs for window controls (min, max, close) you have little icons. the logoff and shutdown buttons should have little icons and not just squares.

btw i like the new start panel.

slightly smaller START text looks better. that's a size 7, needs size 6.

Check this out...more like this.

the colors in the flag doesnt look good daron, maybe you shoukd try with different shades of the same color based on your current scheme

I think I mentioned it earlier on, but an ideal, in my opinion, solution would be to simply release "mod packs". These would simply be the necessary BMP's and instructions necessary to perform the modification. This way you can release any modifications you come up with seperate from the actual theme (to an extent, the Start menu changes might be a bit much for some to do themselves).

Just an idea on a way to keep things going even after the base them is finalized (basically it already it is it seems, except for the new Start menu).

agreed, we can release mod packs with new glymphs, buttons or even color schemes

I have an idea. I'll see if I can make a comp of it first.

Here's an idea - release the darker start panel in the ClassixSD section, and the second one as Classix.

I'm referring to the last pix that Giga posted...


And - what about the WMP9 and rainlendar that Ryu7x made? Release-worthy? I think so...

I agree, those WMP6 skins were fantastic!!

Tom

Yeah I like the WMP skin Ryu7x did, though I agree with saint that it needs to be done using the other color schemes.

This thread really? Want, want, want! People do it your own damn self. Just like the start button above. Add it your own self. I don't need the word start. You guys are wanting to much stupid crap added. I could keep going but I will stop. This is the best theme ever made. I think gigatexel wanted it to be simple and clean when he first started it. Thats just my 2 cents.

Go ahead rip me a new one but read my Sig first.

LOL... take a deep breathe and repeat after me, "I will not flame the 'do nots, want lots'..."

I agree. Obviously when gigatexel or saint dark ask for everyone's opinion and what they might like to see, that's one thing, but the constant asking for this or this is definately getting old. Sometimes it's understandable to see if someone is willing to make a skin for say WMP or Winamp, because not all of us are capable of doing so. However when that request is repeated 10 times over it's not. When it comes to simple bitmap changes in the visual style, there is little excuse for demanding that something be changed, when damn near anyone can do it themselves (if you're using custom visual styles by having "hacked" or replaced the DLL and not just using StyleXP, then you can definately do it). I'm not saying that saying "hey this would be cool..." is wrong, it's just that people need to learn to do two things, 1) read through the thread to make sure it hasn't been brought up before, or at least ask nicely if it has, and 2) take some initiative and experiment on your own.

This is gigatexel's and saint dark's project and as such it will reflect their wishes (expecially as far as the visual style is concerned). Hence my bringing up the whole idea of "mod packs". These would include the necessary files (usually bitmaps) needed to make modifications as well as instructions on doing so.

I'm not trying to be an ass here, just trying to let people know that most of us have enough going on elsewhere than to have to be continuously harassed about doing this or that. Honestly, don't be afraid to ask for help if you truly need it, but don't do so out of pure laziness. Good things will come to those who wait.

ummm... "duh"

i love the ideas for the new start menu - especially the last design - but after that, i think they should just go with their "here's our release, and here are a bunch of things you can add by yourself" plan

when something gets this many fans/followers, it's impossible to keep everyone happy

Could you please tell me where that wallpaper is from (the priginal Chinese one). Or, link to it. It is fantastic.

Thanks in advance.
Tom

i like the new start button idea. i like the colors too. i think that would be cool.

my two cents.

Details on image.

Thanks again to everyone who has contributed to this awesome skin.

I doubt I will because I do not like any of the other color's.

Then would you be willing to pass on the task to someone else? I mean I only use ClassixSD Green, but I'd be willing to make the other color schemes so that others could "benefit".

any chance of a icon packager theme for this?? please?

I think Rivak's got one... not sure whether it was Bluecurve or Gnome though. PM him he'll let you know.

Seriously!

I say let Giga do what he wants with the start menu. He's not gonna kill it and make it suck. I can assure you of that. And the start button. People, make your own! They'll release official packs, and you release yours. Don't go making gigatexel and [saint dark] bust their asses any more than they have!

Okay, calming down.

jaged, I agree with the statement, but that wasn't me you quoted

rschultz2002 made that little comment and then I followed up with a rather long one right after.

I'll repeat my advice, take a deep breathe and repeat after me, "I will not flame the 'do nots, want lots'..."

I fixed that.

And to your 'do nots, want lots' rule, it's just so friggin hard! I get annoyed at these people that ask the same things over and over again!

Yeah I know. But soon enough you will be able to just say... "Read the motherf#@%ing FAQ!"

You could even change your user title to "3v1l l33t ph4x0r" (or however that is done)... then everyone can just say, "you're such a mean FAQQER..."

Ok I did not say anything about the start menu. I don't care about it. I use the classic start menu anyway. I am just sick people asking for the same stuff over and over and so on.

Lol. FAQQER good. Lol.

I don't think that was aimed at you, rather the very same people you were getting annoyed with.

Jesterz is right. I wasn't intending to flame you, but the people who are always wanting and asking for things.

Ok guys here's the start menu I'm going with, I simplified it a bit and I'm happy with the way it looks.

^ looks great to me pal

can't wait for update

Perfect! Now release!

yes!!!!!!! i love that sooo much.. great job !!!!

how can i make my icon backgroud transparent so that i dont have to change the color of my background ?

excellent choice w/the start menu
